Is the Goatman Fire-raisers build good at everything including bosses? Can we switch from Goatman Fire-raisers to slave drivers without needing to change gear/gem socket colors? I heard slave driver's life was reduced by a lot so how can they survive when they were already fragile?

To effortlessly swap between GFRs (fire) and SDs (lightning) you will need to have at least 1 white socket in your 6L, because GFRs need GMP. Two whites is the ideal (GMP + Faster Proj).

The support aura is blue for both (Wrath vs Zealotry) and the EE proc is also blue for both (Arma Brand vs Storm Brand).

with the new Anointing table info released, what notable would be best on amulet ?

Now Death mark on the other hand... that could be better (once you trigger it, ti should give something like a 49% more).

I believe Deathmark will be better than Elemental Focus if using a Vis Mortis because it will scale the 20% added chaos damage! Unfortunately, will need to wait for PoB to get updated to verify.

Anything that boosts minion damage or survivability, especially on the left side of the tree because I don't path there with this build, ie. Righteous Army.

You will need a Ghastly Eye jewel with minions have added fire damage. So now when your AG hits something, they will proc ignite for -19% (combustion), -10% (elemental army exposure) & feeding frenzy. You probably have a -9% fire helmet on it as well. That's already -38% fire res.

I don't think it will work that way. Elemental Army Support states "Minions from supported skills inflict Exposure on Hit, applying -10% to the elemental resistance matching the highest damage type taken by enemy"
So unless I'm misunderstanding that, Elemental Army wouldn't apply its debuff unless your AG did more fire than physical.

Can't wait for this build to be updated :D Going to be zooming with it tomorrow!

imo best part of deathmark is ai-related - specters will not stop damaging boss every time you do something (still remember how i was fighting izaro once - because of active shield charging specters spent close to 0 time damaging him. was annoying)

Your idea will work! You would use the 4-link Animate Guardian group. For example if you are using fire spectres: Links = AG + Ele Army + Feeding Frenzy + Combustion. You will need a Ghastly Eye jewel with minions have added fire damage. So now when your AG hits something, they will proc ignite for -19% (combustion), -10% (elemental army exposure) & feeding frenzy. You probably have a -9% fire helmet on it as well. That's already -38% fire res.

looks nice, but will not feeding frenzy make AG agressive (and you will be out of fortify range most of time)?

i thought about srs because of this exact reason - they fly far, have fire dmg built in the gem (from conversion) and you don't need to care about them.
how big is the "one ring slot" price? for example, keep srs in The Hungry Loop: srs - feeding frenzy - combustion - ele army - whatever (unleash/minion speed/something else useful for defense or enemy debuff). or better keep vaal skeletons in this ring when using it?

another good thing about combustion is that it will let you utilise "supported by immolate" elder helmet mod for dmg in case spectres will be there

also why don't take offering node with pledge variant? for 3 passive points (whirling barrier node) + 2 asc points you can get 55% regular and 36% spell block + over 500 life on block from bone offering

Hello, thanks a lot for this guide. It makes it possible for casuals like me to have a fun season!

One question: from what I can see, you don't use Zombies or Skeletons in your Summoner build. Why is that? Sorry if you already answered that question somewhere.

well, it's unclear, but maybe it will work - since it's elemental resistance debuff, maybe it's actualy "highest elemental dmg type" (i.e. ignoring phys and chaos dmg when checking for the highest)

wave of conviction has slightly different wording:

"

Each enemy hit is inflicted with Exposure matching the element of which they took the highest damage.

so we just have to figure somehow if these are different exposure mechanics or just different explanations of the same thing

Quick question: Is it safe to get rolling with 3.7 leveling trees?
